A heart-pounding combination of action, music and incredible aerial photography helped make Top Gun the blockbuster hit of 1986! Top Gun takes a look at the danger and excitement that awaits every pilot at the Navy's prestigious fighter weapons school. Tom Cruise stars as Lt. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, a daring young flyer who's out to become the best, and Kelly McGillis co-stars as the civilian instructor who teaches Maverick a few things you can't learn in a classroom!
